3VZE Severe Missfire after engine swap!!
So I just replaced the 3.0 engine in my 92 Toyota 4x4 pickup 5 speed after hydro locking my original 3.0, breaking a rod and putting a hole in the block. I finally got the engine in that had come out of a wrecked but running Toyota 4runner. The problem is now that cylinders #1 and #6 are not firing. I pulled the plug wires for those 2 cylinders which make no difference in how it runs. All the others make a difference when I pull them. The only thing I could think of was the fact that I used the distributor off my blown engine, which was a little bit different than the 4runner distributor. The caps were different, and the connectors to the distributor were different. That's why I changed them, so the original harness would fit. Now there is spark coming from #1 and #6 from the dist. When I pull the plug wires from #1 and #6 its arcs across until I get it far enough away. I did change the plugs on those 2 cylinders to see if its was the plugs. No difference. I also put brand new plug wires on. No difference. The spark plugs appear to be moist with gas. So I think its getting fuel. I used the same injectors from my blown engine that worked perfectly fine, and never pulled them from the fuel rail to begin with. So I dont understand what's going on. Everything is hooked up except the 2 PS pump vacuum lines which are temporarily capped off. All I can think of is maybe the distributor isn't working for this engine since the other one was slightly different. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome. I really need this thing back on the road asap before the snow really starts to hit.
